EASA AD US-2022-19-15
SUPERSEDED BY FAA AD 2024-05-11
Summary
FAA Airworthiness Directive 2022-19-15 is a final rule correction applicable to certain International Aero Engines, LLC PW1000G series turbofan engines including models PW1122G-JM, PW1124G1-JM, PW1124G-JM, PW1127G1-JM, PW1127GA-JM, PW1127G-JM, PW1129G-JM, PW1130G-JM, PW1133GA-JM, and PW1133G-JM. The directive mandates ultrasonic inspections of the high-pressure turbine first-stage and second-stage disks to prevent uncontained disk failures. This correction updates incorrect table references in the original service bulletin instructions.
What Changed
This document corrects the table numbers referenced in paragraphs (g)(2) and (g)(3) of the original AD 2022-19-15, changing them from "Table 2" and "Table 3" to the correct "Table 3" and "Table 4" in Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D. No other changes to the original AD's requirements or compliance dates were made.
Why It Matters
Accurate references to service bulletin tables are critical for maintenance personnel to correctly perform ultrasonic inspections on affected turbine disks. This ensures proper identification of parts requiring inspection and replacement, thereby preventing potential uncontained failures that could cause severe engine and aircraft damage. Compliance with this corrected directive is essential for maintaining engine safety and airworthiness.
What To Do
Operators and maintenance organizations must perform ultrasonic inspections of the high-pressure turbine first-stage and second-stage disks at the next engine shop visit after November 7, 2022, following the corrected table references in the specified Pratt & Whitney service bulletin. Disks failing inspection must be removed and replaced before further flight. No installation of non-compliant disks is allowed after the effective date.
